What exactly is a Sun Tunnel®?
This type of skylight differs from a more traditional skylight in both its look and functionality. A Sun Tunnel® is designed as a cylinder-shaped tunnel that stretches from the outside of your roof to the top of your ceiling. Daylight is captured in the highly reflection tunnel and transmitted as diffused light in your space.
What should I pick, Sun Tunnel® or a traditional skylight?
We do love options! What's important is that both a VELUX Sun Tunnel® and a VELUX Skylight provide your home with bright, natural light. But there are differences. A traditional skylight is great if you're wanting a window to the outside world, as its clear glass pane opens to sky views. Sun Tunnel® Skylights are a great option if you're looking to bring in natural light to smaller areas that may have limited ceiling space.
